Food Bank

The Food Bank provides a three-day supply of food once a month to individuals and families who live in The Stop’s catchment area (north of Bloor, south of St. Clair, west of Dovercourt and east of Runnymede). The Stop’s food bank places a priority on providing a dignified environment and the best quality food possible.

In order to register with the food bank, you must provide ID with your name and address (as well as ID for anyone else who will be sharing your food). Once you are registered, you will be given a food bank membership card.
